Intro
[Am6] / [E(b9)/G#] / [Gm7] / [C9] / [F7M] / [Fm6] / [Em7] / [Am7] / [Am6] / [E(b9)/G#]
Verse 1
[Am6]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
[E(b9)/G#]
Quiet chords from my guitar
[Gm7] [C9sus4] [Fdim] [F6]
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
[Fm7] [Bb9]
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
[E7b9] [A7b9]
Quiet walks by quiet streams
[Am7] [Am6] [Fm6/Ab]
And a window that looks out on Corcovado,
[G9sus4] [Fm6/Ab]
Oh how lovely! ...
Verse 2
[Am6]
This is where I want to be
[E(b9)/G#]
Here with you so close to me
[Gm7] [C9sus4] [Fdim] [F6]
Until the final flicker of life's em - bers
Outro
[Fm7] [Bb9]
I, who was lost and lonely
[Em7] [Am7]
Believing life was only
[Dm7] [G9sus4] [G7b9] [Em7] [A7#5] [A7]
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
[Dm7] [G9sus4] [G#dim] [Am6]
the meaning of existence, oh my love
Repeat
Final: replace the very last chord Am6 by Cmaj7add13
